Tilda is a console emulator intended to imitate the look and feel of the FPS games consoles. I don’t use Tilda for this reason but it’s perfect to use as an embedded console into your desktop.

Finally, OpenOffice 3 was released on Monday. I had not posted it yet because my Internet connection didn’t work.

The biggest improvement of this version is the support for Microsoft Office 2007 file formats. However some magazines have said OpenOffice is not a full upgrade and it could be considered the 2.5 version

There is a huge load in the OpenOffice web site so you can experiment some troubles downloading the new version.

s known that since many years the OpenBSD developers – especially Theo de Raadt – have said they are very sad because Linux is so popular and It’s a real garbage. They are the best in the world, OpenBSD is simply the best free OS.

I’m not saying OpenBSD is a bad OS. I have read much about it and its cool features but it’s very security focused and is more useful in servers and networks, therefore a little hard to use as a desktop system.

I’m annoying about that commentaries because Linux is used in almost every environment, it’s stable and secure (not as secure as OpenBSD) and used in more than 50% of the best computers on Earth.
